  • Australia is a nation known for its conservative attitude towards drugs. So the approval of psychedelics for use in psychotherapy in 2023 came as a shock. Maybe more shocking was who got it done - an opera singer and her former investment banker husband, who kicked up no shortage of controversy along the way.

    That Stephen Bright is so short sighted. The reason people die from MDMA is because contamination or dehydration. Both things that would be solved if the compound was decriminalized and regulated, advocating to keep it criminalized only ensures more and more people will die trying to experience this treatment.

      Most ppl who are hurt by MDMA actually overdose on water by consuming too much, im not sure if that translates to deaths also though. As far as contamination I don't think it's fair to even call that dying from MDMA. Realty is all traditional psychdelics are safer than alcohol and cigerettes though so these arguments about harm are so ridiculous.

  • @shanessinging

    There is a serious problem with this media outlook and info being put out by this video and also misleading title. MDMA keeps being repeated in tandem with the research and use of Psilocybin which is incorrect. theyre 2 completely different drugs and also used for 2 completely different mental health related things so shouldnt they be reported as such, individually? and not combined into 1 video? People are gunna get confused. For example: mentioning people dying off of the use of MDMA in festivals and then talking about psilocybin research at 4:00 this is improper reporting and shows lack of knowledge; in context with this comment: there has not been a single known reported death from psilocybin mushroom use. There is no clear differentiation between the 2 by the journalist which is my issue.

      I miss my microdoses so much. I did 1/10 LSD every 3 days for about 9 months and it was amazing for stabilising my mood and invigorated a sense of wonder and energy to get things done and try new things. Still trying to get my hands on some more without getting busted for importing what might be seen as "distribution amounts" of around 20 units.
      When the government bans vapes but not cigarettes and allows alcohol while banning dope and LSD - two of the least conflict inducing recreational drugs I can think of, you really get the impression that they don't actually care about our health as much as they claim that's the reason for the ban in the first place.

    Shrooms changed my life for the better. I was just recreationally trying to "trip" in the forest with some friends. I had no idea what would happen. It was/is the best experience of my life, full stop! I did em when i was 18 or 19 yrs old and till this day the wisdom, compassion, love, insight, presence, and patience I came to know then still guides me in my thoughts and actions with myself and with others. From what i understand it wasn't as grand and sweeping for my friends. But i think there's something to be said about the fact that forests/woods nature has always been my happy place. And unlike my friends, I came to the experience with no forced expectations just a curious and open mind.

    If something is heavily regulated and obscenely expensive then it is not 'legal'. It might be an adjustment of pre-existing legislation but it's still legislation. It's still the government deciding the degree to which an individual may have access to, a relationship with and experience of the natural world. It is still a group of people deciding under what circumstances an individual may have this experience, and surprise, surprise! - it's within a clinical setting, with someone who doesn't really care about them, with large sums of money involved! Well, what better way to achieve an understanding of one's own integral part in the tapestry of the universe that facilitates the healing of psychological trauma than within the confines of a heavily regulated capitalist infrastructure? And so the tyranny continues.

      Do you understand the profound difference between the implications and risks of them being decriminalised Vs legalized? Why specifically do you want them legalised instead of only decriminalised for personal use?
      Do you understand the profound risk involved in giving psychiatrists the ability to prescribe these substances to involuntarily commited patients? Do you know the horrendous history of this already in Victoria? Are you aware of the plans to massively expand mental health incarnation, and involuntarily commitment in Victoria? Do you really think psychiatrists and by extension the state should have these available as a weapon ?

The pain that aggression of hyper masculine culture has created is not easily healed. Mother Nature is hurting and the whole society is constantly being retraumatised by ruling overlords. If ever psychedelics make us more awake and even more depressed, because we can see how broken the system is. It’s a never ending process of healing.

      Totally agree. They have no business facilitating these experiences on a purely scientific model.

An empathetic or compassionate psychiatrist is not sufficient to avert a spiritual awakening becoming a spiritual crisis.

      You've noticed who will be given the power to prescribe these , and that they aren't necessarily all trustworthy. In fact this very odd legal change effectively enables psychiatrists to weaponize very powerful substances , right at a time when our state has taken a totalitarian turn, and when they have made plans for massive expansion of mental health incarceration and involuntary commitment. Remember the recent pattern of substances becoming compulsory in certain contexts as soon as they were allowed ( not even approved )?
      The AstroTurf designed to launder this very odd law change is nonsensical. People using these substances in traditional ways don't need reclassification or legalisation of the substances they just need decriminalisation .
      The changes beyond decriminalisation ( legalisation and reclassification) are mostly an enormous gift of power to psychiatrists , and effectively , by extension, to the state .

    No artificial or plant drugs can solve a problem permanently. It will have blissful temporary effects correct, but it will be temporary. And will delay us reaching the actual resolution…

    I don't know if these people know about Switzerland?
    It's been legal there to do therapy with psychedelics for people with ptsd and depression for the last few years.
    And maybe not with MDMA but LSD, shrooms and truffels i know are legal there now.

    People die at festivals because they mix drugs and go too hard/don’t drink water/have a heart attack/don’t know what they are taking.
    Most people who have taken MDMA etc know that it does great things for their mental state.
    I am past that time now, but know that if I could find these substances now it would help remove the creeping negativity of age.

    Lets not pretend psychedelics aren't extremely dangerous to the mental wellbeing of many people. During my time at uni i saw many people take lasting psychological from psychedelic abuse.
